There are several choices in methods to maintain sterility of surgical instruments including rigid containers, peel pouches of plastic and/or paper, and sterilization wraps (woven and nonwoven). While most hospitals use all of these packaging options, the most commonly used method is sterilization wraps.

The original sterilization wraps were 140-thread count muslin cloth. Advantages of these cloths included that they were soft, reusable, inexpensive, absorbent, and drapeable (i.e., able to drape easily over trays). An important disadvantage was that the cloth was woven and, hence, did not provide complete protection against microbial penetration. To minimize microbial contamination of the instruments inside, hospitals initiated double sequential wrapping.

Auto-wrap is a non-woven, non-absorbent CSR sterilization wrap, which is soft yet, durable, and drapes like a cloth. Auto-wrap achieves optimal resistance to bacterial penetration due to its non-woven construction. Auto-wrap CSR wrap is designed as a protective wrap in order to sterilize products by steam, ethylene oxide sterilization, and gamma radiation. http://www.viscot.com/CSRWrap.htm
